By the way, the reason the drives are set up correctly is because
the SET commands have actually altered the on-disk copy of the
handler.  That mapping will stay in effect, across boots, until
you change it.

As an experiment, try issuing a SET command for a device when the
system disk is write-locked.  You'll get an error when it tries to
write out the updated portions of the specified device handler to
the system device.
